Richard Noble's diary
Tuesday, 2 March, 2010
We started BLOODHOUND officially in June 2007- that was 33 months ago – 33 months of hell at my end keeping the programme afloat – but this next week we believe the Aero team will come up with the final shape of the car. We had all hoped to get there by November – but it just didn’t happen.

I’m late again – the workload here is massive and getting time for creative writing is proving really difficult!

The end of September is, I hope, going to be a huge waypoint for BLOODHOUND; hopefully JP and the design team will have made their decision on the final external layout of BLOODHOUND SSC and reached what we call Aero Solution.

My apologies- this is late again! Nick Chapman asked for this update in July, but the pace and demands of the project are so great that I have to give precedence to activities that make money, structure the programme and help the rest of the team achieve their objectives.

I am sorry this is late – it’s symptomatic of the pace of the project. It’s growing very fast now and every waking minute has to be spent in trying to drive us forward and sorting all those difficulties which come with rapid growth.

Now the true character of BLOODHOUND is becoming clear – we had a highly successful launch in October at the Science Museum and generated over £3m AVE of publicity, and 20 TV documentary offers while 9,000 people made it to our 5 day exhibition.

Richard Knight had chosen October 23rd at the London Science Museum for launch day back in August.

As we approach the all important BLOODHOUND project launch, this is a great opportunity to look back at what has been achieved during the research period and what remains to be completed.
